I came an hour before closing at 8pm to a completely empty restaurant and asked for a table for two. I was rudely told they close at 9 and they won’t be serving food anymore to anybody. I wish they locked the front door to avoid that whole situation

The place was barricaded up due to vandalism. Even though the open sign was on there were no signs on the big plywood window coverings to indicate they were open We were greeted and seated by a guy who was chewing on food and some of the food was on the edge of his mouth however very helpful and friendly. I thought what I ordered was good and so did my mother in law but my hubby rated his meal a three and our church friend was fine with hers but we talked about trying somewhere new next time.

Staff and service always pleasant. Food is brought out or ready in a timely manner. Never disappoints whether dine in or take out.

We found this spot when other restaurants were closed or too crowded. The food was good and great service!

The service was a bit lax, considering we were the only ones in the restaurant. I had the pork egg foo young, and was quite happy with it! I've eaten here 3-4 times before, and have been happy with the food. It is also one of the quietest restaurants in Santa Maria for me to eat and converse with my friends. I am also posting photos of the menu with the current prices ...

HEADLINE: What a disappointment, across the board!!!! DO NOT GO!!! First time try here at this Chinese American restaurant in Santa Maria. Ordered take out this New Year's Day. Was told 15-20 minutes. Hopeful! Walked up to the store front and noticed that three quarters of the storefront windows were boarded up, along with the front door's window. WTF????? Were they expecting a hurricane, or New Year's Eve violence against crappy Chinese restaurants? I walk in and the place is completely empty ... not a single patron at 1:00 PM in the afternoon, in the rather expansive space. Got my nicely boxed order home (since I have to award a star per Yelp!, here it is) ... UGH!!! BBQ Ribs appetizer, was neither ... 0/10. It looked like dried out slices of some kind of meat, no fat, no caramelized skin or center, and an utter lack of flavor or smoke ring ... I know Char Sui ... this was not even that universe, much less zip code. Utter fail. Threw it out. Spicy Garlic Broccoli, again neither ... 0/10. Broccoli was mush, and the sauce was utterly nondescript, versus being garlicky or spicy. Threw it out. BBQ Pork Fried Rice, again, who screws up fried rice ... -0/10. Utterly dry, tasteless, and used the aforementioned imposter of BBQ Pork. Forgettable! Threw it out. BBQ Pork Egg Foo Young ... unrecognizable ... 0/10. Inch thick hockey puck patties resembling more of an overcooked hamburger than a glorious light combination of egg, sprouts, pork and luscious brown sauce. Gravy was gelatinous. Patties themselves dry, flavorless and simply WERE NOT EGG FOO YOUNG. Threw them out. Potstickers App ... Worst I've had in a long time ... 0/10. Mostly dough. The filling was flavorless and unidentifiable. Not worth the calories. Threw them out. I ordered Egg Flower Soup and Hot and Sour Soup ... both small portions. I haven't tasted either one, given my experience to date with this order, but with the above experiences, this review is irreparable, no matter how wonderful they may be. But I have no expectations. $80 ... all of it headed to my local garbage dump. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

This is I believe the best Chinese food place in Santa Maria. Generous portions and all the dishes are excellent. Personal favorites for me are the salt and pepper. Fish, sesame chicken, and tea smoked duck. Spacious restaurant for large sit down parties and they're pretty quick with to go orders as well. Oh the staff is also very nice to you, but doesn't try to talk to you a lot which can be seen as a good thing sometimes.Parking: It's in a little strip mall area so there's plenty of parking

Food & Service were just ok... nothing special. Sweet & Sour chicken tasted old. Bathrooms were very dirty. Not the finest first impression.

The food is always fantastic. We frequently select the egg rolls they are delicious. If you order multiple items for take out they have always surprised us with a tasty "free" item. This is such a nice treat!!! Not a fancy place but hits all the must haves. Try this restaurant you won't be disappointed,

Order was correct. Food was pricey, but the portions were large. The taste was, meh. I Ordered the chicken fried rice. It was salty and the chicken didn't look like something I should eat, so I picked it all out. My friend ordered the shrimp and it was bland and tasteless. Checking this one off the list and won't be returning.

No ambiance....Window boarded up with plywood. Food server bring food on a noisy cart that rattling. Food is sub par and I'm being generous. No beer or wine won't be back

If I could give minus zero I would! We found the longest hair in chow main noodles! The food had no flavor and was overpriced.
